About

I’m a Product Leader with 8+ years of experience driving product strategy, vision, and execution across mobile apps, consumer products, and F2P gaming. I’ve led cross-functional teams to deliver products that improve engagement, retention, monetization, and long-term user value across millions of users. My experience spans the full product lifecycle - from 0 to 1 product development to scaling mature products. I’ve owned roadmaps, strategy, discovery, experimentation, and execution, working closely with engineering, design, data, and marketing to build products that balance user needs with business impact. I’ve led teams through major initiatives including onboarding redesigns, lifecycle & engagement systems, A/B testing frameworks, monetization models, and platform/economy improvements. I’m comfortable operating in high-growth, ambiguous environments, and I’m known for combining data-driven decision-making with strong product intuition and crisp execution. I’ve also mentored PMs, partnered with senior leadership on planning and prioritization, and contributed to scaling products across multiple global markets. My strengths include product strategy, growth, experimentation, retention systems, monetization, roadmap ownership, stakeholder alignment, and cross-functional leadership.
